I have never heard of phone updates installing bloatware. The only time bloatware is present is when you first use the phone
@AzureRT @LemmyKnowsBest me too
Yup, I'm telling you, when I first got this phone, first thing I noticed was fucking candy crush et al, and immediately uninstalled all that junk. And every time it runs a software update, i kid you not, within a couple days I'm looking through my phone and I notice more shit they installed. Monopoly, Candy crush, block stacking games, I didn't ask for any of this! delete delete delete.
